These are superficial changes! Allowing cell phones and computers and the locals to stay in Tourist hotels… please… these people have a hard enough time affording soap and toothpaste let alone a fucking cell phone or a computer on $20 DOLLARS A MONTH!!!…. even if they received a 50% increase …a whopping $30 dollars a month.. and do you think that there aren't restrictions on websites and cell phone monitoring. It's bullshit… simply a DISTRACTION to the real issues at hand… how about allowing freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Stop the brainwashing and allow the people to become informed and to offer them political CHOICE in a variety of candidates and allowing them to VOTE for the person they really want as leader of their country.

I think that everyone should do their research on Cuba, past and present, before making biased materialistic statements. Nothing is wrong with the monthly pay because in Cuba the people are provided for! So what if there is no emphasis on the latest fashion and the latest cars. There is food (not the four servings on a plate that greedy Americans are used to), there is adequate housing, there is free education, and health care. Personally, I prefer not having to worry about those things. Having a computer and cell phone is nice, but most other material goods are not necessary and do not necessarily mean that the country is better off. I also think that people, in general, are becoming really selfish. If almost everyone is living healthy and satisfyingly more simple lives (rather than competing for everything), then all the better! I would rather everyone be able to live in comfort than having to watch my neighbour struggle to feed his/her children whilst I live in a big house and waste large amounts of food. Once again, just think about everything before you speak out against a country that is obviously supporting itself in the most important ways.

Re: Sue –
But you don't mind handing over hard-earned cash for a war, I take it? That's where your taxes are going, not to people who could use it. Like those getting laid off all over the country due to globalization and the lack of job training. Put down the CNN/Fox News Kool-Aid and learn some truth about assistance.

This is supposed to be a gossip site, not re politics. It's Perez' blog, he can write what he wants but I agree with the other posters. I'm here for sleezy photos and trashy celebs. I'll get my news, donate to charities, and discover music elsewhere.

It's a slow progression, but Cuba is going to make huge leaps. Everyone gets tired of the bullshit eventually. Maybe someday we'll even stop Beyonce from singing. Ohhh a girl can dream! *-*

UMMMM…these "facts" are not even true…. where are you even getting this from???? and you forgot to mention that housing is free in Cuba (what would be a third world country) and so is food, education, and medical care….. that's more than the U.S gives it's people BY FAR!!!! not so bad…. maybe you cant go around buying LV bags but when your other option is being homeless and uneducated and starving…..I'D SAY VIVA CUBANA!!!!

I think that if Cuban Americans really gave a crap about it, instead of coming to America and complaining they would be back in Cuba doing something.

$20 US dollars a month is not the same in Cuba. It is worth MUCH MORE. I am a mother of 2 kids and I can't afford an extra $100 a month. I don't buy anything new or waste money. I can't go on vacations, buy a new car, buy enough organic fresh foods. WE CANNOT afford to save for college (free in Cuba).. I cannot afford to get my hair done or for a babysitter. My husband works 60 hours a week so don't say we don't work.
